Originally posted by jcleary47 Thank you for the responses. I was trying to set a slower shutter speed because the clouds were moving pretty quick and changing colours from the sunlight, and I wanted an effect of them being blurred a bit. It did let me take the shot, but came out extremely bright from the overexposure.
It's likely that it was still to bright for the long exposure you were trying. If you have the aperture at a small setting (big number) and your iso down to 100, and your still overexposing at the shutter speeds you shooting at you can look at getting a
neutral density filter - it's like sunglasses for your camera - allows less light to pass through in effect making it darker.
